What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Oh he derped those on?

Geezus, I can't imagine the time it took to mask everything off.

 

Wouldn't take much, just tape off the design with 2" width of tape and then peel off the excess on the outside of the tape. That's how I did my emblems...

 

You don't know Madjik_Man.

 

The paint guru? I've seen some of his posts... Haha

 

Plasti dip has a lot of overspray.

I guess you could just peel/rub off any over spray but that would be a PITA

 

Looks good! Dig the hood decals!

 

If it were me, I'd bag the whole front of the truck, cut out the area to be sprayed, then mask it off with painter's tape.

 

^ that's what I would do. That's why I said I'm too lazy.

 

Meh, plastidip doesn't require all of the prep work. Just tape off around what you want, and as long as you don't let the overspray sit for a few days, it'll come of easy.

 

very nice looking truck! where are you located in the valley? we need more first gens on the west side!

 

Truck looks Great!!!!!! What rack is that????

 

It's a rack off of a 4Runner.

 

goodies came in

 

Just placed an order with Wheeler's...

 

Hmm.... Icons coilovers?

I've got a few things I need to order from them....

 

Naw, updating to Nitrocharger Sports. Another Tacoma owner heard I was interested in upgrading and offered to buy my old stuff. Attempting to walk the fine line of upgrading and saving for a house down payment. When it is done, hoping to step up to the Sports for only $400-500.

So funny. The pile of parts is growing in the garage again. Still haven't installed the winch. Have to do the flywheel, the carrier bearing and the u-joints. The exhaust needs welding up (the clamps aren't holding anymore) and I still haven't relocated the blinkers.

Next month I'll finish my Wheeler's order with the OME AAL, greasable shackles and bushings, body mount and steering rack bushings, After that, I'm tearing down the rear suspension, repainting the axle housing and maybe the rear half of the frame then put it all back together.

Always something to be done.

Edit: and I forgot, my Optima redtop is 8 years old. Pretty sure I'll be needing a new battery the first time I fire up the winch once I get it installed.
